Expression of Emotion in Robots Using a Flow ofArtificial Consciousness

This paper discusses the development of a robot head that creates a facial expression according to emotion resulting from a flow of consciousness. The authors focused attention on the human consciousness and proposed a system using a unique artificial consciousness according to the relationship between emotion and the resulting human facial expressions. The artificial consciousness is used to imitate the human consciousness and generate emotion in the robot using data from the Internet. The authors have also developed a robot system that is similar in structure to that of the human anatomy in order to achieve smooth communication with people. By combining these two systems, the authors were able to realize the expression of emotion according to a flow of consciousness using a humanoid robot.
